Al,,
I saw you at the lunch time having some pics of the J taken in the paddock, nice clean bike you have. The brake thing happens to us all my zx12r brakes failed at a trackday at SPA last month so I know exactly what you mean.

I'll be out next year at these events as they are a good laugh with some nice kit kicking about.

Next time I'll come and say hello.

Here yer go, another pic of it. Very impressed by the build quality myself and thought it looked 'bang on' - the "fuck 4 strokes" on the barrells clinched it for me :rir

Starting to really like these GT750's these days (modded of course) :wink:

Some excellent photos there, I loved the GSXR1100 with all the carbon. I didn't realise that my bike sat so low to the ground. Maybe I need to lose a few pounds before the next track day.

Yea, it was me who ran out of fuel. On the last lap after then end of the session.

I thought the motor had given up for a moment. I just couldn’t make it back to the pits. Fuel consumption is pretty grim on these days.
A very heart felt thanks to those who gave me fuel. I sent the wife to fill up a can but the petrol station had closed. I’ve not forgotten and will be happy to return the favour- I will take spare fuel next year.

Thanks for the photos, hmmm ….I think I may have to give up the pies!

Twas a grand day tho.

My mates may take you up on a return favour!!

I don't mind it was'nt my petrol :lol:

But we'll all be at these days again next year!

Good to see plenty of Z1OC guys there next time we should be a bit more formal and do an organised attendance.

Robw Did say to me at the Staffs show if we get a group attendance going he might be able to do us a special deal.

What do you think Rob Z10C discount rates for the "special" event next year??

Me & Rob (rc30rob) are looking forward to doing it all again in 2013 and we'll post the details of dates as soon as we have them - don't hold yer breath though as it'll take a while as all the race calendars need to be sorted first! :(

Reason for this post though is here's a reminder of our Donington Park trackday from last month as seen through the eyes (lens?) of our tame video cameraman :lol:

Enjoy - and we'll see you next year :)

Taking my own camera next time and will edit it to make me look good. :D

Thanks Darin for taking the time to post that up. Was wondering if it would emerge sooner or later.

See you next year and thanks again for all the work and effort you all put into it.

I second zorded's comments,

Well done to Rob and Darin,

These are the best days out (apart from Spa) we have had this year.
